Explore Rexford, Kansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rexford, Kansas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Kansas or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Rexford.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Rexford occupies a broad, level expanse of the high plains where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 86.2 miles west-northwest of Hays, KS (from Hays, KS: bearing 299°T), and is situated 17.3 miles east-northeast of Colby. The landscape around Rexford is defined by the rigorous geometry of wheat fields and the persistent, restless movement of wind across open ground, which thins the soil and polishes the horizon to a sharp, uncompromising line. Two miles away, the intermittent flow of Prairie Dog Creek offers a slight reprieve from the prevailing flatness, its banks lined with the sturdy, silver-leafed cottonwoods that serve as the only vertical relief for miles. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular gold, casting long shadows that emphasize the vast, unpeopled scale of the terrain.
Agriculture dictates the tempo of existence in Rexford, a place where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest. The settlement grew from the expansion of rail lines and the ambition of those who looked at the seemingly endless prairie and saw a future measured in bushels of grain. While the pace of life remains slow, the legacy of the settlers persists in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that defines the streetscape. Those seeking a broader connection to the regional wilderness often travel sixteen miles to visit Young Park, yet for the residents, the true character of the locality is found in the daily maintenance of silos and the steady, quiet endurance required to thrive in a land that demands such profound patience.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
